NORWALK — A Norwalk man tipped investigators off to his own alleged wrongdoing when he called police late Sunday about an altercation at a South Norwalk liquor store.

Police said Wilmer Zamora-Zamora, 35, incriminated himself on Sunday when he called police to report an alleged assault. In speaking with officers, however, he admitted he was staying at a home on Woodward Avenue from which he is currently barred by court order.

Police spokesman Lt. Paul Resnick said responding officers found a “very drunk” Zamora-Zamora who told police he had been punched in the face. Employees of the store told police that Zamora-Zamora had been acting obnoxiously inside of the store and harassing customers prior to the incident, which they claimed not to see.

As officers investigated the incident, they were approached by a man who admitted he had been the one to punch Zamora-Zamora. The man told police he had been eating in the corner of the store when Zamora-Zamora, unprompted, began poking him in the chest, at which point the man struck him.

Resnick said the officers asked Zamora-Zamora repeatedly if he wanted to press charges against the man, but he was “too drunk to respond to police.”

The next day police went to the Woodward Avenue residence that Zamora-Zamora was barred from and found him there.

He was arrested on the spot and charged with violation of a standing criminal protective order. He was held on $50,000 bond and given a court date of May 7.
